Miranda’s excitement turned into rage and confusion in an instant. She became frustrated as she looked from the plain key to the composed notary. Her face burned with wrath as she screamed, “Is this a joke?” Where’s my inheritance? My promised fortune—where is it?” Her rage resonated through the building and the parking lot. In that explosive moment, Miranda stood on the brink of a confrontation, her world broken by illusions demolished and her resolve steeled against truths that challenged everything she believed she knew.
